I was about to recoil in horror at the realization you were a Jean Grey fan

Pourquoi? Jean and Scott are far from my favourite characters - they remind me of the top dogs in Matt Groening's diagram of high school - but I've never found them particularly objectionable. Although I have to admit watching Storm kick Cyclop's arse for leadership of the team was a mighty pleasure, as was watching him fall into a billion bits in the early X Factor. OTOH when he blubs pathethically because Jean is OK post-Jamaica Bay, I wanted to give him a big hug. He's defined by his relationship with her, which is an interesting reversal.

The recent story in X-Men focuses on the Phoenix Force and involves a lot of time travel, implausible villainy and kinda bad art.

Is that all the hoo-hah with that condom full of walnuts, Cable? I haven't read the X books regularly since the early nineties and am hopelessly behind all the complicated family trees and timelines.
